Love of my life

50.

Erin's pov

"Mr. Dolan can I help you carry anything to your seat?" the flight attendant asks as we board the plane. "No I think my wife and I can carry everything" Ethan smiles at the word wife. I roll my eyes and put Cameron and Jake in their seats. Ethan puts the suitcases in the overhead compartments and then sits down next to me.

"Ahhh I can't wait to go home and start a life as a real family" I sigh, sliding my right hand down Ethan's right thigh. His hand quickly covers mine. Ethan intertwines our fingers.

The plane takes off.

After the flight

"Mama, mama" Jake cries. "Honey we are almost home" I sigh turning around to comfort him. "Do we need to stop?" Ethan asks still keeping his eyes on the road. "No it's fine."

"Da, da" Cameron says clapping his hands. "Oh my gosh Erin he finally said my name!" Ethan shouts. His face lights up. His eyes are alive. "Yea Ethan" I laugh placing my hand on his shoulder.

"ERIN HE ACTUALLY SAID MY NAME. HE SAID DA DA. OH MY GOD. IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW." I laugh as Ethan looks and smiles at me with his perfect teeth.

God am I glad that I married this kid! Ethan pulls into the parking garage. We unbuckle the kids and carry our suitcases up to our apartment. "Home sweet home" Ethan sighs unlocking the front door.

He opens the door and throws the keys on the counter inside. Ethan takes Cameron and Jake upstairs to their beds for a nap. I hear the door shut and I silently sneak up the stairs. I open the door just a crack.

Ethan is sitting in the rocking chair reading a book. "And they all lived happily ever after" he says. He gets up and tucks the boys in. Kissing them both on their heads.

"Good night boys I'll see you in a while. I love you" Ethan whispers walking towards the door. He pushes the door open and jumps when he sees me. "Erin you scared the crap out of me" he laughs.

"You are such a good father. I love it. That was the sweetest thing I've ever seen you do." "Honestly I love those kids more then I love myself, and that's a lot" he says laughing.

"I love you Ethan Grant Dolan" I sigh moving into a hug. His arms envelope my small body. Every inch of me is covered by Ethan. My face rests in the crook of his neck and we just stand there for a while.

"You wanna go take a nap?" Ethan asks. "Hell yea" "NO SWEARING ERIN" he giggles. We walk down the hallway and into our huge bedroom. The bed seems so familiar but so strange.

Ethan's sheets are still a mess from the last time we slept in it. We both flop on the bed. Ethan on the right, me on the left. He pulls the comforter over our bodies.

I roll over to face him. Ethan wraps his arms around me. I feel safe. I feel needed. This is what I've always wanted. As I drift off to sleep I feel Ethan's chest move up and down in sync with mine.
